Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Princess in Distress (1)

On March 31 of the third year of the ephemeris, in the unfamiliar star field, in the empty starry sky, the Starry Sky Cowboy was sailing alone in the empty space. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you're lucky, you can occasionally pass by a pitch-black irregular planet, but if you're unlucky, there's nothing around.

The Cowboy Squad has been out for almost a month, and the most joyful thing in the last week has been encountering a meteorite the size of a fist. To commemorate the encounter, the bored team members salvaged the meteorite, carefully engraved everyone's name, and then put it back in.

They've done this boring thing many times, starting with graffiti on the surface of a desolate planet with a shipboard C-class energy cannon, and now it's down to carving on a fist-sized asteroid.

"Qinna, can you find a movie you haven't seen before?" Zhou Bocai lay down in the captain's seat and said to Qin Na.

"You've watched the latest movie Avatar Eleven twenty-five times," Qin Na said.

"What about the older ones?" Zhou Bocai asked with hope.

"Cartoon cat and mouse," China replied.

"Just let this go," Zhou Bocai said with a yawn.

The stereoscopic projection turned on in front of Zhou Bocai, and Jack and Tom, a pair of 10,000-year-old enemies, immediately chased after each other on the stereoscopic projection.

"Did you see this last night?" Zhou Bocai said angrily with sweat on his forehead.

"Yes," China replied truthfully.

"Then I am recommended to watch this?"

"This is an old movie, and it's the least watched," Qin Na replied truthfully.

"Whew, forget it, look at what other lazy people are doing, I haven't seen anyone for so long," Zhou Bocai said.

"The first clause of the crew code, which prohibits the privacy of other crew members, cannot be enforced." Chenna replied.

"What kind of stinky rule is this, and who made it? How come I don't know," Zhou Bocai asked dissatisfiedly.

"You were the first to take the initiative of this rule, Captain, and there were people who opposed it at the time, and you were the one who stood out against the crowd," Qin Na replied honestly.

"Oh? Really? Then forget it," Zhou Bocai said embarrassedly.

"Warning, natural wormholes have been found ahead!" Qinna said.

"If you find it, you will find it...... What did you say? What was found? Zhou Bocai suddenly got up and asked.

"Fifteen light hours ahead of me found a natural wormhole," China reported.

"Sound the alarm, level 1 alarm, hurry and hurry!"

The rapid sound of "doodoo" continued to be heard in the Starry Sky Cowboy, and after a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, the team members who were almost sick rushed to the bridge excitedly.

"Spinach, have you met a slave catcher? How large, should we just run away or do it first" Wang Fatzi hurriedly asked with his eyes shining. The Starry Sky Cowboy has eaten a vegetarian diet for so long, and the barrel is hungry and thin.

"Fuck off, the slave catcher group didn't have one, but the natural wormhole found one!" Zhou Bocai replied angrily. This fat man Wang knew all day long that Zhou Bo had to shoot the cannon, so he simply called Wang Dacan. Each shot is a lot of energy points, of course I can't promise him. The hateful thing is that seeing that Zhou Bocai did not agree, Wang Fatzi actually implemented the policy of saving the country with a curve, and coerced others to jointly put pressure on Zhou Bocai, which is really hateful.

"Wormholes? Are you sure? There are not many natural wormholes in the universe, and the Golden Crow fleet has not discovered natural wormholes until it set sail," Ding Weijian said while standing aside. Anna leaned on Ding Weijian's side with a crimson face, and grabbed Ding Da's slut's arm tightly, it seemed that another flower had fallen into the cow dung.

"You're not the only one majoring in astrophysics" Zhou Bocai looked at the happy Ding slut with disdain, and there was always a sour taste in his words.

"Qinna, is the wormhole stable? How long will it take to arrive at the fastest speed" Ding Weijian directly ignored Zhou Bocai's provocative eyes, and asked Qin Na to himself. As the vice captain of the cowboy squad, he still has this authority.

"It only takes 35 seconds with the jump engine, five minutes with the warp engine, and 15 hours with the regular engine, so choose the way you sail." Qinna said.

"Jump Engine"

"Warp Engine"

"Conventional Voyage"

…………

"The fastest jump engine"

"But regular sailing is the most economical, and what we have is time," Zhou Bocai said.

"It's better to use a warp engine, the fusion reactor will have more power, and it won't consume a lot of fuel." Ding Weijian thought for a while and said.

"Okay, as long as you don't start the jump engine, the price of the fleet's biological crystals has risen recently," Zhou Bocai said earnestly.

"Got it, Aunt Zhou!" Zhang Wenhui, who had been waiting impatiently, pouted and said, and suddenly burst into laughter.

The warp engine was activated, and the Starry Sky Cowboy accelerated for a while, and then disappeared in place as a ray of light. Two minutes later, there was a slight fluctuation in space, and the Starry Sky Cowboy broke away from its warp speed and docked quietly next to the wormhole.

It's not much different from normal space, and scientists don't expect a black hole to have a horizon. The spatial stability constant of this area is very low, and from the detector, the space around the wormhole is concave inward, directly forming a whirlpool-like concave space, and bursts of regular fluctuations come out of the cave, even with the surrounding space are rhythmic.

"How far can you detect a wormhole?" Zhou Bocai asked.

Natural wormholes will appear in two extremes, either the communication distance is very far, or it is very close, and there are rarely medium-length wormholes. Moreover, the lifespan of particularly close wormholes is generally very short, most of them are randomly generated due to the reduction of spatial stability caused by supernova explosions around, and can last for tens of thousands of years at most.

The mechanism of ultra-long-distance wormholes is much more complex, often in a star field when there are multiple supermassive stars, due to the gravitational pull of the massive stars, the space is very unstable, if the same situation occurs at extremely distant distances, in order to release the huge gravitational force of space, there will be a large wormhole, such wormholes can often exist for tens of millions of years, or even longer.

"The distance of the wormhole communication is 2,950 light years away, and the ship can be reached after fifty-five consecutive jumps," Qin Na replied.

“…………”

"Why don't you send an unmanned probe to explore the way first, no one has ever been in this thing. Who knows if you won't be able to get out after you go in," Shi Xiangjian suggested as he looked at the deep opening.

"Qin Na, send an unmanned probe over" After thinking about it, Zhou Bocai still ordered Qin Na.

A fifteen-meter-long plant fighter ejected from the launch channel of the Starry Sky Cowboy, then turned on the plasma thrust engine, and quickly rushed towards the mouth of the wormhole, plunged into the deep wormhole and disappeared in an instant, and the connection with the Starry Sky Cowboy was also severed.

Fifteen minutes later, the wormhole mouth flashed and the plant battleship reappeared, and was guided into the hangar by Celence. Stereoscopic projections flashed on the bridge, and images near the other side of the wormhole appeared in front of everyone.

It was a giant planet, orbiting a very small star, and next to the giant planet there was a huge rocky moon, with an atmosphere, blue, and constantly rotating, and there was a huge land mass on the side facing the camera. However, the radiation constant of the entire planet is very high, and carbon-based organisms cannot survive at all. Although the situation of the planet has not been completely investigated, the possibility of the emergence of intelligent civilization has been ruled out.

"Neutron Star!" Ding Weijian exclaimed.

"Possibly. A giant planet of this size orbits a small mass star, which is either a white dwarf or a neutron star. Qinna, if the Starry Sky Cowboy passes through a wormhole, will it be harmful in that environment? Zhou Bocai asked.

"With the Starry Sky Cowboy's energy level, the chance of suffering from harm is almost zero," Qin Na responded.

"Good. Everyone, please be prepared quickly and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Qinna, adjust the course, the Starry Sky Cowboy enters the wormhole and go! ”

The ionic plasma engine ignited, and the huge hull of the Starry Sky Cowboy gradually accelerated under the action of the huge driving force, and soon sank into the wormhole.

Chen Peilin and the others experienced a wonderful thing, the moment they entered the wormhole, time seemed to become delicate, as if it became infinitely long, and as if it became infinitely short. Everyone only felt that their thinking had suddenly become stagnant, and when they came to their senses, they had returned to their normal space.

"It seems that the situation is much more complicated than we imagined", after the first glance at the scene outside, Zhou Bocai sighed and said.
